In that same year during the summer months, flea markets seemed like a good idea.

The flea market crowds were tough. Looking back, selling gourmet condiments off a cart at a venue typically shopped by “Bargain Hunters” was a bad idea. Hey, nothing ventured…

2 years later 1n 1991 a second kiosk was added in Green Bay, WI.

In the beginning (Pepper Palace’s that is)…

Hot's Salsa Shop

Hot’s Salsa Shop (Later to be called Pepper Pod then Pepper Palace) was born in a mall in central Wisconsin in 1989. This kiosk was run primarily during November & December for Holiday shopping crowds.
